Different World: The Devil's Coming

On the way to the cafeteria, Mo Fan also learned the old man's name, Liu Bao, a very down-to-earth name.

"Mo Fan...right. What do you think about farming?"

"Farming means growing food. Food is the foundation of the people and the country. With food, the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and the country can prosper and become strong..."

In response to this question, Mo Fan said, you have asked the right person. The Chinese people love farming, and this question hits the nail on the head.

"Stop, stop, stop. You are a very eloquent boy. Let me ask you again, if an enemy comes and leaves the people without land to farm, what should we do?"

This question is very simple, that is, to increase the yield, or to increase the satiety of food, so that even if the land is reduced, people can still have enough food. But Mo Fan has an alternative answer.

"Then plant the enemy in the field."

Mo Fan's words made the teacher next to him spit out the food in his mouth. Liu Bao was also stunned, then he raised his head and laughed.

"Hahaha, kid, you have a weird idea. But... it seems to be right. If the enemy won't let me farm, then I will plant the enemy in my farm."

Liu Bao did not say that Mo Fan was joking, nor did he brush it off as a joke. Instead, he pondered over it. Mo Fan was a little panicked. He had seen this on the Internet in his previous life. Would the dean really want to plant others in the fields? The demons had destroyed the land a lot, so what was he doing...

"...Old man, I have another question. What if we are not strong enough to put the enemy into the field?"

Mo Fan didn't have any good solution for this problem, so he ate and thought. Liu Bao didn't urge him, because he had a hunch that Mo Fan in front of him might be able to give some suggestions.

"Hmm... I wonder if the dean has ever thought about making the plants he grows able to attack?"

"Plant attack? You mean monster attack?"

Liu Bao frowned, seeming not very satisfied with the answer.

"No, no, no, not a monster, but just a plant with instincts. For example, grow a man-eating plant that will swallow the enemy when it gets close. Or plant a potato mine that will explode when the enemy steps on it..."

Mo Fan also gave many examples, all of which were plants from Plants vs. Zombies. Liu Bao frowned at these fantastic ideas, not knowing whether he was dissatisfied with the answer, thinking that Mo Fan was teasing him, or thinking about the feasibility of these examples.

The other teachers were also listening and discussing quietly. Some said that this was creating monsters, while others said that this was indeed feasible. After all, some wood magicians used seeds or nearby plants to make plants fight, and they could also be considered wood summoners. And Mo Fan's method was nothing more than removing the intervention of wood magic, allowing these plants to grow and mature on their own through the so-called "sunlight".

"In this case, how do we distinguish between friend and foe? We can't just fight everyone who comes."

"Well, I'm not sure about this. But if you want to distinguish between humans and demons, it should be possible. After all, the magic power of demons is more violent. You can also distinguish between undead spirits. After all, the breath of death is also very obvious."

Mo Fan gave two examples. As for distinguishing different people? Forget it. Unless you give plants a brain, they would become man-made monsters.

"Hmm... is that so... Hehe, young man, your idea is good and creative. It gives me, an old man, the motivation to do research again. But... can I ask you for a favor?"

"Dean, please speak."

"As for the undead, I can't catch them, old man. As for the demons, you are the only one in the academy. If I really figure it out, I wonder if you can come and do an experiment with me?"

Liu Bao's idea was simple. If these so-called plants were truly developed, they might be able to solve the hidden dangers of farmland near the monster forest. There would be no need to worry about low-level monsters wantonly destroying crops.

Asking Mo Fan to participate in the experiment was actually a test for him. After all, Mo Fan had half the blood of the demon king and half the blood of a human. If the plants could distinguish Mo Fan, then most of the demons could be identified. If this could be done, then these plants could be used as a tool to detect demons.

"Well... I have no problem with experiments, as long as it doesn't affect my normal classes and tasks."

"Haha, it doesn't affect it."

Mo Fan agreed without hesitation. In the following time, Liu Bao and Mo Fan had some more exchanges, and some of Mo Fan's views also gave Liu Bao some new directions. As for Mo Fan's desire to learn alchemy and medicinal materials in the academy, Liu Bao said that he was happy to learn whatever he wanted, and he would not take any credits.

After lunch, Liu Bao went back to his office to rest contentedly, after all, he was old. Mo Fan wiped his sweat off his forehead. If he hadn't had some experience from his previous life, how could he have given such an opinion that even surprised Liu Bao?

Fortunately, Liu Bao finally chose to research how to distinguish between humans and undead. After all, this is much simpler than studying the difference between humans and demons. Maybe in the near future, Mo Fan will be able to see a real version of Plants vs. Zombies.

But can peas really harm zombies? Mo Fan expressed doubts, after all, the zombies here really eat brains. Although Liu Bao said these were minor issues, Mo Fan still couldn't help but worry.

After lunch, Mo Fan walked around the Agricultural College, admiring the world of farmers. Mo Fan also went to the medicinal material area to observe the growth process of medicinal materials one by one. Originally, medicinal materials were not allowed to be watched by others, after all, cultivation was more troublesome. But Mo Fan and Liu Bao had a good chat, and Mo Fan also exchanged knowledge about medicinal materials with several teachers, revealing some medicinal information that humans did not know yet, and became friends with the teachers and students of the Agricultural College.

Now, Mo Fan is communicating with his classmates about the medicinal properties of herbs. Both sides have gained something. After all, most of the herbs that can be cultivated here are herbs that do not require a high environment or high magic content. The herbs that grow near the Demon King's City are all very strong, but their medicinal properties are very specific.

The collision of two different kinds of knowledge will naturally bring different gains and inspirations to both parties. As we chatted, it was afternoon and time for class.

Mo Fan and several classmates walked towards the alchemy classroom. Although he did not have a textbook, Liu Bao had obviously considered this. When the teacher walked into the classroom, he gave Mo Fan a textbook.
